Make sure you use spoiler tags if your question is about the anime, manga, or any non-anime source. Untagged spoilers are risking a ban. There are two ways to create clearly marked spoiler tags, as shown in the following:

The easy way: By simply clicking on this icon which can be found in the Quick Reply or Reply to Thread template. This is how I create spoiler tags.

or

The macho way: By using those uber vB codes as shown in the following...

Alright, random question time! If you were to take someone's neuro-linker and break it would they lose the Brain Burst program? Or is the program stored somewhere else (and they would just need a new neuro-linker to continue playing)?

Question:
Does using another's Nuero Linker enable one (even someone not meeting the requirements) to use Brain Burst?

Spoiler for Answer Heavy Spoilers Read at Your Own Risk:

Yes, there was one case of that happening although the first requirement must be fulfilled first. That requirement is having a linker since birth. But this case is really unique. Apparently, an A.I. was developed based on the previous wearer thus allowing the new wearer be a spectator. The Burst Linker with this peculiarity,

Spoiler for Final Warning:

Rin, the sister of the RL Ash Roller. Her brother, the base of Ash Roller, is currently in a coma.

Time is accelerated by 1000, so 1 day(24h) in RL = 1000 days(24000h) in AW.
1000 days = 2 years and somewhere between 8 months 22 days and 9 months 18 days, since the days in a month varies between 28-31.
Just hope I didn't mess up with my calculator

Can someone compare the acceleration speeds of Accel World and SAO's Underworld? Is FLA faster than AW's Acceleration?

Also, why does it have to be "having Neuro Linker from birth" be the primary requirement? If it's merely just for the brain reaction time, can someone with an insane amount of nerve response (say SAO's Kirito) be a candidate if it's just brain reaction speed we're talking about to pass?

In the official crossover <<Versus>>, both Kirito and Haruyuki have been found to have the same reaction speed.

It makes my spine chill to think that 1000 years has passed in game since launch... Can you imagine someone who sleeps just 8hs a day and logs on for the rest, how long has he lived and experienced?!

Well, it's said that there's very few people who log on to the Unli. Neutral Field at a time (around a 100), so it's quite boring. I doubt someone can stay for 100 years there, even, just finishing off enemies and such.

Although, some people have taken a liking to sleeping in the Unli Neutral Field then resuming work in RL. :3

Well, Volume 9 is called Seven Thousand Year Prayer, which is around the time first generation Burst Linkers existed.

And no, I doubt any Burst Linker stayed inside the unlimited field for more than a day or two, since their real bodies still needed nutritions and water. Don't forget they are still students 16 or younger, their parents would probably rage if they miss dinner.

Spoiler for Info from LN about sleep:

According to the LN, Haru spent a week learning the incarnate system and when he logged out, he wasn't feeling tired at all. Apparently by simply sleeping in AW you recover from mental fatigue.
So instead of sleeping 8 hours and log on for the rest, I imagine them having a social life during the day (with going into AW during break times and when challenged) and just spend the 'night' in the unlimited field.

This COMPLETELY TRIVIALIZES the need for sleep! It increases humanity's efficiency by 33%!!

Plus each person gets 1000x more time to work on projects!

And since the game began, I wonder how many of those gamers are now beginning university...

In a few years time, those Bursters will be cranking out Noble prizes. Not even Kyuubei can match this feat (except completely destroy it)
